Join us for the 21st Annual Research and Impact Day, a premier student-led event showcasing groundbreaking research and fostering career development in the healthcare field. Attracting over 300 attendees, this event provides a unique platform for intellectual exchange and collaboration. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and support the next generation of healthcare leaders and innovators. 

Event Highlights: 

  • Keynote Address and Panel Discussion: Hear from leaders in the healthcare sector. 
  • Student Presentations: Discover innovative research from emerging researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. 
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with students, faculty, alumni, and professionals from industry, academia, and government during breakfast, lunch, and the evening reception. 

Bridging the Gap Between Research and Reality 

This year’s theme, “Bridging the Gap Between Research and Reality,” focuses on transforming cutting-edge research into tangible improvements in healthcare delivery, policy, and patient outcomes. We will explore evidence-informed decision-making and innovative solutions for clinical and community-based challenges, fostering collaboration to ensure our collective research drives meaningful and lasting change in the health system.

We welcome submissions from ongoing or completed research, coursework, or practicum projects. There are no methodological constraints, and your work does not need to align with the conference theme—we encourage you to submit in whatever format best represents your work. Abstracts do not need to be fully finalized at the time of submission; you will have the opportunity to refine them before they are shared online.

Virtual / online participation is limited to an online academic poster showcase, where accepted posters will be displayed digitally. Please note that virtual posters will not be judged or eligible for awards.

You may submit multiple projects as long as they are distinct from one another.

Presentation decisions will be communicated shortly after review (by mid April), and you will be asked to complete a separate registration for the event. If you have any questions, please contact Justin Pymento (Justin.Pymento@mail.utoronto.ca).

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2025 at 11:59 PM.

We look forward to showcasing your hard work!

Volunteers play a key role in making Research Impact Day a success by assisting with registration, guiding attendees, and ensuring smooth event operations. Join us to support a dynamic day of knowledge exchange and networking while gaining valuable event experience.
